CH Blend refers to a hydrocarbon wax formulation that is commonly used for ski maintenance. This type of wax is known for its versatility and performance across a range of temperatures. By using CH Blend, you can ensure that your skis or snowboard maintain excellent glide and durability, making it a great choice for various snow conditions.

The iron-on method involves melting the wax with an iron and spreading it evenly over the base of your skis or snowboard. This technique allows the wax to penetrate the base material more effectively, resulting in better performance. To apply, simply heat the iron to the recommended temperature, drip the wax onto the base, and then glide the iron over it until it’s evenly distributed.

The Base Prep Wax is designed to perform optimally in temperatures ranging from 32°F (0°C) to 14°F (-10°C). Using it within this temperature range ensures that you get the best performance from your skis or snowboard, as the wax will adhere properly and provide the right level of glide.

Regular maintenance is key to ensuring your skis or snowboard perform well and last longer. It’s recommended to wax your equipment every 5-10 days of use, or whenever you notice a decrease in performance.
